  2. Proving (again) that #Trump is #AntiSolarPunk ! Wow!!!

    Do #DEI #BikePaths Exist? The Trump Administration Says Yes.

    The administration has revoked funding for #BikePaths, and encouraged removing some. A cycling advocate said it is playing on the idea of “that dork on a bike.”

    Excerpt: "As it is, many American communities, regardless of politics, have embraced #BikeFriendly policies, on the grounds that bikes are good for the planet, for the body, and address congestion by taking cars off the road.

    "Often inspired by bike-friendly European cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam, the moves are a major shift in the way American communities approach transportation planning.

    "There are now 4,400 directional miles of protected bike lanes today, up from 108 directional miles in 2000, according to #PeopleForBikes , an industry trade association and advocacy group. (Directional miles are miles that can be traveled in one direction; with a two-way bike lane one mile long counting as two directional miles.)

    "The group notes that more than 25,000 miles of #RailBeds have been converted to bike-friendly trails, double what it was two decades ago.

    "But the Trump administration is trying to put the brakes on the trend.

    In #NashvilleTN, the future of an ambitious series of bike lanes, called the #EastNashvilleSpokes project, is up in the air after the Trump administration froze a $9.3 million grant, prompting a court battle that remains unresolved."

  5. A dangerous #heatWave is coming next week

    by Alex Fitzpatrick
    6-26-2026

    " '#HeatDome' is forecast to bring dangerously high temperatures to much of the eastern half of the U.S. next week.

    "The extreme heat could last through July 4 celebrations.

    "Driving the news: 'Widespread temperatures into the 90s to low 100s, combined with high humidity, will result in heat indices approaching or exceeding 105-110 in many places,' NOAA forecasters write.

    " 'Overnight lows will also be quite warm, with some record high minimums possible, bringing little to no relief from the heat in the nighttime hours.'

    "Such conditions affect 'anyone without cooling/hydration as well as health systems, industries, and infrastructure.'

    "Meanwhile: The #HeatWave baking Europe this week wouldn't be possible without #ClimateChange, a World Weather Attribution rapid study found."

    One arrested at peaceful “#NoKings” protest in #NashvilleTN

    by Cassandra Stephenson
    Sat, June 14, 2025 at 1:53 PM EDT

    "Metro Nashville Police officers arrested a masked counter protester carrying what appeared to be a handgun and a '#DontTreadOnMe' flag at the 'No Kings' protest at Bicentennial Park during Saturday’s 'No Kings' protest in Nashville.

    "No shots were fired.

    "Kase Cosgrove, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and safety volunteer attending the protest, said he approached the man after other protesters told him the man was armed and spitting and shoving people while walking through the crowd.

    "Cosgrove said he walked toward the man and saw him tapping on what appeared to be a handgun and pulling it out of its holster to show people he was armed. Cosgrove approached him and attempted to talk to him but three police officers quickly arrived, retrieved the weapon and put the man in handcuffs.

    "Cosgrove said the protest — part of a nationwide protest against the Trump administration — has been peaceful and fittingly musical, being in Music City.

    "Thousands of people attended the protest, lining the sidewalks along Jefferson Street and Rosa Parks Blvd. and walking through Bicentennial Park after a brief gathering at the park’s amphitheater. Cheers, musical instruments and car horns echoed up and down the street.

    "Protesters ranged in age from young adults to the elderly, and many people brought children and dogs.

    " 'Everybody else is being chill,' said Cosgrove. ' . . . He was trying to cause problems.'

    "Protesters yelled at the man as police put him into an MNPD golf cart. Cosgrove was among them, shouting, 'You got tread on!' "

  18. Time for a new #introduction:

    Hi, I'm Michael and I’m on a #jobsearch.

    For the past ten years I’ve been a full stack #webDeveloper for a company in #Nashville that sells #prepping supplies.

    They went from a startup to a well-established brand, then the economy started collapsing.
    
I love working with #vue and #nuxt, but I’m great with #react and pretty much any modern #js framework.

    Open to #remoteWork in the US and local in-office work in the #nashvilleTN area.
